Advertisement for Vimbos, 1898. 'NERVES AND FOOD. Important Pronouncement. Sir HENRY THOMPSON, one of the greatest living authorities on dietetics...gives some very pertinent advice on the necessity of altered dietary suited to the enormous demands...on a man's activity, especially that of the brain, in these days of intense nervous energy and high pressure. Food..."must not be bulky; much of it may be advantageously soluble in form so as to be rapidly and easily assimilated, even pre-digested...; and when solid not requiring much mastication. I have found nothing which fulfils these conditions so completely as the various concentrated extracts of meat...now so extensively used. A teaspoonful of sound beef extract in a cup of hot water when the brain is fatigued and the stomach unfit for work is often the best antidote possible, reinvigorates the system, and prepares it for a light meal or for...more work..." Science has shown...that VIMBOS contains less water and more actual nourishment, besides being purer, than any meat extract yet produced. It is therefore an ideal food for young and old, for the sportsman and the athlete, the brain worker and the city man, for those who have health and strength and for those who seek to regain them.' From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
